I bought this 1957 used copy of Arthur C. Clarke's "The City and the Stars". I remember reading it in high school or college and always wanted to get hold of a copy to re-read. The illustrator of the cover is not given credit. Anyone know who the artist is? Love these old style covers.

Sorry I've been M.I.A. so long. Did some life drawing in the class that followed mine. 1 hour pose. Hadn't done the old Ritmo-style tonal drawing in years and years...professor had an interesting practice of turning off all the room lights except for a few dim overhead cans, then blasting light on the model. Made it hard as hell to see, but an interesting way to do values.

Loved this head I did for the class...used a Tombow brushpen. Added some supermodels to make my point about comparative proportions.

I'm not a huge fa of the Tombow brushpen, but it makes such clear marks on the page it seems like the best option for showing the students how I work when drawing in front of the class.

I am keeping my head above water--just. Thankful for the gig. And the students on the whole do seem to be learning. So my conscience is clear.

Just officially announced this week, here is a nice little overview of this awesome application for HoloLens and the team working on it. I feel so fortunate and honored to be part of this team. Every person working on it is super-brilliant and a lot of fun to work with. The tech is already amazing and will only get better with time. Can't believe I get to work with holograms every day. It is amazing stuff and makes me feel like I'm living in the future.

This will have a grid around the edges, arrows, role playing notes abut angle -speed.

Flying wizard-female.

Dragon in back

Pencils.I changed it a bit after seeing it on the blog. Her folded forward leg looks so much better in the rough. I re drew it. The other one was too long and boring, We'll see how many more edits as I photoshop it.

Color. I'll upload one without the grid bits.

One thing that makes iteasier to do is have all the masks mad before you start.
